Ladies, it's time to burn your bras.
No, I'm not trying to start a revolution - wait, actually, I am. Because if you're anything like me - and you probably are - you are wearing a bra that is completely the wrong size for you. Tonight, that changed for me.
But let me rewind a little bit. Over the weekend I was looking at different bra shops online, knowing I needed to be fitted properly as the bras I had purchased from a large chain store (that I won't name... but it's no secret) just weren't cutting it. They weren't laying right anymore, riding up in the back, straps falling down... I was in bra hell.
Enter Isabella Fine Lingerie, and their cute website that includes a "boobologist." All you have to do is take a picture of yourself in a light colored top, answer some questions, and boom - the next day Dr. Bella (aka Lauren), emailed me back with some helpful sizing advice, some suggestions, and even a coupon for an online purchase - and her friendliness and sense of humor were infectious. Sold.
So tonight after work I took a detour and popped in here. Lauren recognized me from my picture, and she took one look at me and didn't even have to break out a measuring tape to figure out my size. She rummaged through a drawer, handed me a bra, pointed me towards the fitting rooms... and I was off. I was skeptical at first because really, is she that good? And she had handed me a padded bra, which I normally don't love, grumble grumble. But I tried it on... and voila. She poked her head in, made some adjustments, and came back with a different cup size.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.
I was floored that she nailed it on the second try just by looking at me. But you know, she does this all day long so I don't know why I was so surprised. She came back in to check the results, and I nearly bursted with glee - I had been wearing a bra that was too big for me, and now that I was wearing a bra that FIT everything just fell into place - literally. Lauren remarked how I'm smaller on top than I look, and then made me to the "t-shirt test" which is basically just putting your shirt back on to check it out... and damn. Hey, there are my ribs. And hello, girls, it's nice to see you back up where you should be. I was speechless. I was in love with Dr. Bella.
Since it was obvious to both of us that I would be burning all of my bras when I got home, Lauren went and grabbed me a ton of stuff to try on. She brought me a nice mix of standard bras and some saucy bras. I found several winners in both categories, and I even picked up a new sports bra and some panties. I was so excited, and both me and my boobs were sad to put on my crappy bra back on to go home.
I chose to tune her out when she told me the total, but you know... it is freaking WORTH IT. I asked to be put on her mailing list, and Lauren pointed out that they keep all my info and purchases in the computer so if I come back for something I had previously bought they've got it all right there. How much easier can this get?
So ladies run, don't walk, to Isabella and ask for Lauren. She is indeed a boobologist extraordinaire, and is fully worthy of her Dr. Bella title. Her friendliness, sense of humor, and expertise has just made me a customer for life.
OK, confession time. Though they've been with me for quite some time, I still have somewhat of a love-hate relationship with my chest. OK, mostly hate. Being a girl is darn annoying sometimes. As for underthings, I usually just grab whatever looks cute on the sales rack (ooh, lacy!) and call it a day.
With this lukewarm history, I was a touch nervous as I stepped into Isabella. After gazing around solo for a couple minutes, I was approached by a saleslady. She asked me what size I generally wear, and then remarked that she thought I was actually a band-size smaller. Hmm... are you trying to flatter me by saying I'm smaller around than I'd thought? I shan't be that easily won over!
I'm led to a dressing room and given a couple bras to try on. The super-helpful saleslady popped in and out making adjustments and bringing me new styles to try. It was like shopping with a close friend. A close friend who knows an awful lot about my boobs, that is. I must say, I'm starting to be won over by all the compliments my girls are getting.
I put my shirt back on over the bra and... damn! I look good! Perhaps a good-fitting bra CAN change your outlook on life. Ok, maybe just a little, but still. The ta-tas are here to stay, so I may as well start outfitting them properly.
My girls are happy and perky once again!
Isabella is now one of my besties. On the real. Who would have known that I was WAAAAY off on my bra size. Seriously, well, I knew, but lived in denial for what seemed an eternity. Anyway, step in my besties, the girls of Isabella.
I went on a Sunday afternoon after the Bears had secured a large enough lead that I felt it was ok for me to leave (after all, they CAN hear me through my TV). Also, being that they were playing Detroit, and they only one their first out of how many games, oh yeah, like 19 last week, I was confident that Lovie, Jay, and Devin didn't need me anymore. Much to my surprise, there was NO ONE but the two employees in the store. Score.
Staff was super friendly (colleen, please go back again, I swear, you'll change your mind about them!), and SUPER helpful. Much to my surprise, there wasn't any awkward measuring as I've experienced in the past, and most of them, fit like a glove.
Being that my girls are on the "more-to-love" side, the right fit, makes a HUGE difference. I feel about 20 pounds lighter, straps stay in place, no more huge red marks on my shoulders either! Also,my shirts fit a whole lot better too!
HIGHLY recommended, especially if you've got the big girls...:-)
Isabella let me down (pun intended). Hard.
I had very high hopes that this was going to be the very best place to have a "bra" awakening. You know, how everyone is convinced you can look ten pounds thinner, six times happier and three times more likely to achieve your wildest dreams (etc, etc)...if you'd JUST wear a bra that fits correctly. Yes, I was looking for that. It was time.
And, I had an excess of cash to burn on this endeavor (this type of boob bliss doesn't come cheap, so I've heard). I had finally reached an age in my adult life where I was prepared to invest heavily in undergarments. I'm so....adult? I guess so, if being adult means spending a lot on things that are not very important to other people in my life (well, not many). Like, kitchen equipment. Or, wine. And....undies. (who am I kidding, I don't own any kitchen equipment!)
Ok, I digress.
I am back on track now.
No one even really offered to help me. I felt sort of...shunned? I don't know. Very disappointing. Even after picking things out and having someone put them in a dressing room...I got way more advice overhearing them fitting OTHER people. I thought to myself "yep, I'm pretty sure that that OTHER person is not paying for these, and that I should be advised individually on how to arrange this business up in here." I was not. No "can I get you another size?" or anything of the sort.
For once in my life, I sort of wanted to be stalked around a store and fawned over, and fixed, and prodded. Like, HELLO! this is what I came for. I realize it was a Saturday, but they were plenty staffed....and more than happy to drool over all the LP mommies with their big ass bling. I'm sorry, but...no. I realize (some) of those women are important to your business, but not at the expense of others. It's a very rare day that I EVER feel slighted, and that is exactly how I felt. I'm not overly sensitive...I'm observant. And patient. Even after ASKING for help, I received the bare minimum.
At $150 a pop (some of the items)...service should be there. Each and every time, without a doubt. Always. It wasn't for me, at all...and I can't say I'd ever be inclined to go back.
I actually even found myself WISHING I had gone to Victoria's Secret...I mean, they'll hound the bejezus out of you....and have a tape measure! I mean sure, it looks like a pink gorilla puked all over the place and their aim is most definitely tween girls, but atleast they'd...I don't know...SAY HI. Or, fit me for a bra. Or, make me want to buy stuff?
Even with service issues aside, I wasn't that thrilled with the selection. Pretty basic colors/styles. Pretty...gasp...conservative sleepwear stuff...and just overall, not that exciting. Expensively not exciting.
Sorry, Isabella. Not feeling it. My chest is going elsewhere. I'm taking suggestions, ladies. Please send.
I did not like it here at all.
I went in here looking for a strapless bra, which is quite a task because of the giant nature of my chest. I can't stand being saggy, so I explain this predicament to the sales girl and she send me into the dressing room.
"Dressing room", oy... a curtain that doesn't shut all the way. Is anyone modest anymore?! So the girl pops in and out, hanging out in the doorway while my stuff is visible to the whole store- not good.
She doesn't tell me anything about sizes, just says "oh you need to go up." Then I'm looking at oddly pressed saggy things and she's saying "yeah you look greaaaat in thaaaat," very unconvincingly. When I tell her what I don't like, she says "yeah thats the best they're gonna look in a straplessss." At this point I'm feeling like crap.
So I left. Unimpressed. Ick.
If your looking to spice up your lingerie drawer or even just get some FABULOUS basics this is the place to go! I disagree with some of the other reviews saying that all the bras are $$$--they always have a great selection in the sale rack-and i can always find them for around $50 too!
The staff is VERY helpful and knowledgeable!!!!
Do yourself a favor and ditch those cheap target bras and go get in a cute little number that FITS correctly~~~
In the famous words of so many Jenny Jones guests of years past, "If you got em, flaunt em!"
Or something along the lines of that. My new philosophy on all things boob-and-bra is that you have to have some fun and feel confident. And there's no way you're going to do that with the wrong size bra.
Enter: A proper bra fitting.
Like most ladies here, I came to Isabella thinking my bra size was just fine. And like most ladies here, I was given a whole new size. Suddenly I felt myself standing up straighter and holding my head higher. The thing fit!
Aside from function, Isabella also offers plenty of fashion. I had to hold myself back from the beautiful frills and funky colors. Next time, I may not have such self-restraint.
The ladies here were helpful, didn't push more expensive bras for the sake of sale, and ran back and forth from my fitting room to bring new bras to try that matched my specifications. When my favorite bra didn't come in a basic nude, they took my number and, sure enough, they called me two weeks later when it arrived.
If you do stop by Isabella's, brace yourself. Your bra life will forever change and you will never settle for mediocrity again.
Ladies, listen up. I'm talking about BREASTS!
Yes, breasts. They pretty much hang out with you 24/7, are nice and soft, and lots of people want to touch them.
So why wouldn't you take the best care of them possible?
Do yourself and your "girls" a favor and introduce them to the staff at Isabella. The Isabella fitting concept is based on "boobology", which is something where art, science, and magic intersect to create the perfect bra size just for you!
As part of full disclosure, I had Isabella's owner and staff at my shop for a plus-size bra fiting event and you know what? THEY ROCK. All the shoppers came away with kickass new bras that really flattered their figures and made the clothes at vive la femme look even awesomer.
I ordered five new bras in my proper size and immediately jettisoned all my other crappy bras that weren't doing me or my girls any favors.
So if you are a curvaceous cutiepie and wear a band size of 36 or higher, defeinitely stop by as they offer an amamzing selection of full-figure bras. If you need a special size they will move heaven and earth to make sure they bring it in for you.
Lift and separate - -and do it at Isabella!
Sister Erin P. has been raving about this place for months now and could not wait to take mom and me in there.
So happy we went! We were immediately greeted by the owner (who greeted Erin by name). My mom put out on the table right away that she did not really expect to buy anything but was interested in getting fitted. I followed suit and let her know that i was in the same boat. With a genuine smile, she said "no problem" asked us a few questions about our 'girls' and what we are currently wearing and handed us each a bra to try.
The first one she gave each of us was a perfect fit! I was scared to look at the price tag because Erin had mentioned that lot's of their stock is well over $100. drum roll please.....$42!! yay!
I left with my bra but knew the true test would be in the next few days while trying it with my everyday shirts. still perfect! Mom left with three bras and she has been very happy too.
Another great thing is that they keep all your size and purchase information on file so you don't need to go through the fitting process each time, and if you have a special someone looking to get you a gift, the staff can easily assist them (not that I do, sadly, but I think its a great idea!)
Thanks Isabella!
I've been to Isabella's a few times now and they are so amazing. The service is so pleasant, just be warned modest ladies that to be fitted, you will have to be seen in the bra. It's really well worth having them fit you. They usually give you a selction to try on from different makers at different price points for me to try on. Be patient.
I'm a gal with an unusual size and they always have such a lovely selection for me in a range of pricepoints and prettiness. I have long accepted that I will spend a lot for bras. What I spend in a wear is equivalent to the GDP of some 3rd world countries. They always have such pretty bras in my size for about the same price as the boring practical bras.
Ladies, c'mon, let's face it a well fitting bra can make you look 10-20 lbs lighter and will keep you from the discomfort of an ill fitting bra. You have to wear bras anyway you might as well wear something that actually fits you and makes you feel pretty.
I do advise, like they suggest on their website to bring a skimpy top so that you can get a good idea of what it will look like under clothes. Sometimes the shape without a top over can be a little deceiving. I almost bought a bra that gave me this Jane Russell torpedo look.
I recently went for a fitting and I couldn't be happier. First of all, they had a wide selection of bras, and even offered to call me when more items matching my likes/needs were coming in. So hurray to cute new bras!
The second amazing thing was that the bras they fit me with were glorious. No back pain, back fat, quadra boob issues here!! The fitter also taught me a few things that I didn't know (like UK and US sizes not always matching up how I expected).
A beautiful store, great products, and amazing help, in this economy? Perfect.
Walking in, the store smelled beautifully. They carry great lines and I would rather support a local lingerie boutique than the usual VS. The valentine's goodies alone are so cute! Great selection of bras, robes and panties and a great place to get gifts!
They also carry Mario Badescu products! (Try the drying lotion, amazing!)
Great ambience, help and beautiful store, what more could you ask for?
It's true, this store smells fantastic! I went here in the middle of strapless season to get a strapless for my less than normal sized boobs. 30 inch ribcage anyone? They had two for me to choose from and it's hands down the best strapless I've ever owned. I was in need of a little extra nudge to make the purchase though, and the sales lady was right there to help me along. This boutique is a great place to shop, very chic and professional.
Because I didn't find this in a mall, I expected top notch service to woo customers over. I also expected it to be either a lot more expensive than mall lingere chain store, or maybe a lot less, just trying to compete. I also saw on some show that most women wear the wrong size bra, so out of boredom I decided I should go for it, take the plunge, if you know what I mean. My chest isn't exactly giant but I wanted a proper fit. I got non-intimidating service but after all that, the fit didn't really fit, even though they said it did. How is this even so? I'm not sure. As for selection, nothing blew me away, and it was all fairly basic, traditional and even if I will, conservative. I wasn't looking for anything racy but something a little fun for a treat woulda been nice after I was supposedly properly fitted. At the end of it all, I walked out buying nothing which I didn't expect. I will keep searching for better bra for my captain and co-pilot.
This is my favorite place to buy lingerie, second to Gap Body. They have an impeccable selection of luxurious bras and panties. Although I love the wowza! marketing campaigns (PINK!) not to mention the super gorgeous and hot models of Victoria's Secret (ANGELS Tyra! Gisele! Heidi! Alessandra Ambrosio! Adriana Lima!), I don't really patronize Vicky's. The location of the stores in Chicago are in high traffic areas (Water Tower, North/Sheffield) and I'm not overly impressed with the crasftmanship or quality of Vicky's undies. However, I am in LOVE with the panties and bras at this store. They carry Hanky Panky undies (best lacy thong ever! tons of colors and best of all- doesnt fall apart in the washing machine) and this other brand-- the name escapes me. The material is super soft and silky and weightless-- makes you feel like you are wearing nothing, and it is totally invisible too. (Lucky geeks in the R&D dept...have made some deep gains in the design and production of some seriously awesome lingerie!!) Seriously the best panties ever, probably comprable to Vicky's Angels line but the competitive differentiator is awesome personalized service in this charming boutique, and like I said-- less traffic and obnoxious crowds than those at Vicky's.
I try not to follow the masses....
I still love Vicky's Angels though. Especially Allessandra Ambrosio-- she's super uber hot!
This place is fabulous. The owner is so sweet and helpful. Upscale underwears- totally worth the $70ish price tags. Cause we all know we've spent $50 on crappy bras- so what's $20 more for a way better one. You pay for what you get. After stopping in, I wrote this email to my closest girl friends. It's a review in itself:
"Hi Gals,
I have an awesome recommendation to pass on. This sounds crazy and out of the blue (which it is) but I went to see the Boobologist the other day and she helped me immensely. Ha! I know.
Explanation: So there is this lingerie store in Chicago owned by this nice girl who has a knack for telling you what bra size you should be wearing just by seeing your picture. Turns out, most of us are probably wearing the wrong size. It's super easy and she emails you tips on what size she thinks you are and what bras you should try. I know this sounds like I get a freebie for referring you or something, but I swear I don't, I just thought it was too awesome not to pass on to my close peeps. You don't have to buy a thing. Here is her website:
http://www.shopisabell...
Just upload your photo and tell her 3 other details (you have to give your email so she can write you back, but she won't spam), and she responds in a day. She is a real person and really writes specific things- I know b/c I went to her store today and she remembered me. I bought two bras that are TOTALLY different sizes than I thought I wore and they are amazingly better. Turns out I was wearing a band size too big and 2 cups sizes too small!
Anyway, totally random, but we really need to get that "bra riding up back fat" look out of our lives. Because it you have that (I did), you're wearing the wrong bra!"
Enough said.
I came here to find a bustier for my wedding dress and found exactly what I was looking for. Le Mystere wedding bustier $125.
Does the buster do wonders? I can't tell you yet as my fitting isn't till later this week but I am writing here to rate the service.
Excellent service and highly knowledgeable. Very friendly.
I would recommend this place to anyone looking for really nice lingerie.
Hallelujah! My lingerie drawer is now set with perfectly fitting bras- no more ill-fitting pieces from department stores or a certain lady with a secret's place. Yes, the bras are expensive but in my and my figure's opinions three well fitting bras outweigh ten incorrectly fitting ones any day of the week!
On my past two visits I was aided in picking out a perfectly fitting bra to day to day wear- if you think you are wearing the right size you are not. However at last visit they did not carry my size with a lower plunging bra. Both owners were so disappointed that they were unable to accommodate me that they went ordered different options for me (with no obligation to buy of course) Both contacted me via email and invited me back to the store when the bras arrived (in less than 2 weeks). When I arrived to try them on there was absolutely no pressure to buy. Both owners, Deborah and Lauren, were so intent on finding me the perfect bra it was a truly personalized experience. We finally selected a bra that would need to be altered. No worries- Isabella has an onside seamstress who performs these alterations free of charge! As a shop whose aim is to outfit as many women it can with correctly fitting, beautiful bras, Isabella has fully fulfilled its goal!
So I went back for another bra. I have been so happy with the one I bought in Sept, I decided it… Read more »
Hey Men - don't be afraid to get your significant other some 'lacy underalls' - and you know what? - this is the place to do it! Lauren is super-helpful and she'll help you get a great gift for the lady! If you bring her along, all of the fitting and advice is professional and courteous, and your girl will leave the store feeling pampered and great (and you'll reap those benefits, too)! Kudos to Isabella Fine Lingerie! What a great store!
The selection here is great, and I am willing to pay more for a well fitting bra, but I have seriously had it up to here (holds hands at boob level) with the service. I was in the store on the opening night at which time they offered a "buy two, get one free" bra promotion. Having only two bras in my size in my chosen style, they agreed to let me come back at another time to get the bra.
Well, here it is four months later, the bras I did buy starting to wear out, and I still don't have the free bra. I have called to inquire about this bra about eight times. Each time, I explain the situation, get the woman on the phone (it is usually the same not particularly bright woman), and get her to verify my purchase history in the computer. Each time she promises that somebody - usually Deborah or Lauren - will call me. Sometimes she informs me that my fabled third bra will be in stock later that week. And not once has anybody at this store felt it necessary to return my call.
Once the woman on the phone told me that the bra was in stock and I could pick it up! Hooray! I high tailed it over there after work only to discover that she had set aside the wrong size and the wrong style. The bra I wanted? Not in stock. But somebody would call me the next week!
I am still waiting for a call. I've given up on the free bra.
And frankly, despite my original high hopes, I've given up on Isabella. buying bras is a pain in the tatas as it is, and there is no way I will spend that kind of money (yes, it is a free bra I am after but if the service had been good, I would have spent all of my not inconsiderable bra dollars at this woman-owned, independent business) at a store owned and staffed by people who clearly could care less about my patronage. Isabella had the chance to forge a lasting and loyal customer relationship with me, but they blew it.
I love Isabella's. They are always so nice and very helpful. I never feel like they are being pushy or overbearing. Plus, they always have exactly what I am looking for.
Also, this is the only place I would ever send my husband and feel confident that he would bring my back something perfect. I can't say that about anywhere else.
You know how on Tim Gunn's Guide to Style they always go through the girl's undies, and her bras NEVER fit right? Yeah, that's because most women are wearing the wrong size bra. But, Isabella's is on a mission to fix that. They'll size you up, and get you in a right fitting bra. Also, they do bra alterations! (which seems a bit weird, but if you have a small ribcage, it totally will change your life)
Their selection is good (some practical, every day stuff... some a little racy) and they hit several price points, so it's a good place to check out for bachelorette/ shower gifts.
I did a show for them, and they gave me free clothes! Woohoo! Doesn't get any better than that!
Plus, they have some of the most comfortable jammies I've ever been lucky enough to own!
I enjoyed my recent visit to this shop. The women were friendly and kind. They explained what makes the perfect fit for a bra. They were not shy about their services either which made for a comfortable atmosphere.
Although I found a bra to buy, I though the selection was limited. They didn't seem to have many options in my "NEW" size. I also found what they did have to be a little...well....fuddy duddy. Give me something racy and sexy please.
I was impressed by the variety of prices which are certainly not over the top. They also have a cute selection of boy short panties that scream HOT! I may be back and I may not, but I did enjoy my visit and can recommend the store for others.
The best part about Isabella is that they have a great selection of under-things at various price points. They're more than willing to help you find something that not only fits your body, but your personality and price.
My only complaint is that parking isn't always easy around this area and it's a bit of a walk from the train. It's not, however, enough to stop me from venturing over there to stock up or make impulse purchases.
I've been committed to shopping here for years, since I realized that in order to be properly fitted, I'm not going to find my size anywhere else. They've seen me through pregnancy and nursing, weight gain and weight loss, and all of the corresponding bra size changes. Lauren rocks, and so does Alyssa.
If only bra shopping was always this easy!
I needed a strapless for a wedding I'm in, and the gals were super friendly and all-around cool about helping me find the right size and fit. It was quick and painless, and they weren't pushy.
I'm reserving my final star for the next time I visit. I need the all-around picture of shopping there. So far, so good!
Thank you for having a variety of sizes and staff that knows what they carry and are willing to help. It costs a little more than chain bra stores, but it not outrageous and having a bra that actually fits is sooo worth it. I would and have given up my many many cheaper bras that were the wrong size for a few good ones that fit well and are still cute. If you happen to fit into a 34 anything (you lucky devil you) they still have a great selection of fun and functional lingerie.
This is one of my favorite places in the world to shop. I have been through a ton of weight changes since I started going here 6 years ago and the staff have always been extremely helpful, sensitive, intuitive, and caring. I never thought I'd be able to get my 42ff boobs into a sexy bra, but they found several options for me. Now that I've lost some weight (I'm still a hard-to-shop 34h) they still found options for me for everything from a sports bra (so i can hopefully lose even more weight) to an all black lace number that makes me feel sexy. They can fit anyone from the smallest to the largest. Even when a mistake was made on my first order, Lauren went above and beyond to make it up to me. She cares about every customer that comes into her shop, no matter what size they are or how much they have to spend. I can't say that for a lot of places.
Horrific. I only gave it one star, because zero was not an option. Not only are they waaaaay overpriced (all of their merchandise can be purchased online at http://figleaves.com for much less..and no tax) but they are RUDE! I have a bad day too every once and a while, but I would certainly put on a happy face to customers willing to shell out $70+ a piece for a bra.
I could not believe the snippy comments and unwillingness to help me. I had stopped in and tried on a bra in a hard-to-find size. I was a bit hesitant to spend so much on an undergarment, so I decided to go home and think it over. When I returned, ready to buy, they were out of my size, but had me try on a different size and spent 10 minutes down-talking to me when I told them that it didn't fit me correctly. I had already tried on the right size and this certainly was not it. They insisted it indeed was my true size and it is supposed to fit with the cups resting awkwardly on my collarbones! I'm not kidding.
As I was getting ready to leave, they found the size I had been asking for. When I put it on, they just pretended that they had not been bullying me into a bra that clearly did not fit.
Not to mention they only offer returns for store credit.
Do yourself a favor and try the bras on, secure your size, and order them online.
The owner of this boutique is much better at pretending to be nice. Her sales associate, who has been in there everytime I've stopped in (which I never will again) is nothing short of obnoxious.
If you'd like some customer service and prefer that people treat you with kindness, try Intimacy or Raizy.
Stunning selection of hard-to-find European lingerie like Parah. Expect to drop at least $150 on a sassy ensemble. Everything here is so beautiful, it's total temptation, so hide your AmEx platinum when walking in here. The staff is helpful and isn't too pushy. Stop by for less expensive basics like Honeydew and Cosabella.
5 stars for their incredible sale prices and adorable peices. I love this place!
Great selection of good quality lingerie...its no pricier than victoria's secret and they've got plenty of cute styles!
LOVE Isabella! Unlike a lot of other lingerie boutiques, they carry a nice range of styles. They have plenty of sweet, demure options, as well as some sexy, slightly more adventurous pieces. I love that you can get practical basics and "fun" lingerie all in one place. And the sales girls are great; they helped me pick out a very tasteful and much-appreciated gift for a bachelorette party recently. Contrary to some other comments, I think the prices here are reasonable, considering the fact that you're getting a good selection of tasteful, unique, good-quality lingerie.
After 15 years of ill-fitting bras, I finally have bras that fit! Lauren, the owner, is a bra genius. She knows her stuff. I thought everything would be super expensive, too, but it's not. My new favorite underwear is $10.
Okay; Lauren, store owner, really knows what she is doing. I have been through several distinct sizes over the years and two pregnancies. She not only remembers my size, but also has sized me up with a new size on sight. Most recently, I did not believe that I could actually fill a C cup, after much time as an "A+". But I tried the size anyway. Indeed it is a much better fit; larger cup and smaller band size. Their bras are expensive, but the sales are great. And there is something to be said for someone knowledgeable fitting bras and for support local businesses. Also, if they don't have it, they will special order and ship directly to your home at no extra charge. Parking is tough at the Lincoln Park store; meanwhile the Roscoe Village store has a much smaller selection. But you can make an appointment for a fitting at Roscoe, or request an item be brought to Roscoe if you know what you are looking for. Also, functional, yet attractive nursing bras; thought that was an oxymoron didn't you.....
